is known to all. Aware Of this danger the
profession has been for centuries seeking a
harmless cure. Throughout the ages, from
time to time, have arisen persons who claimed
to be able to cure II by vegetable and harmless
remedies. They have always been welcomed
by the advanced men Of the medical profess
SION, who are ever eager for anything from
any source, promising relief TO suffering hu.
msnity. Unhappily, no permanent results Of
benefit were secured. Indeed, 1t got to be re-
ceived as settled fact in medicine, that the
disease could only be cured by mineral and
dangerous treatment myself, although
brought up In the progressive school, which ]
still closely follow In all It's certain treatment,
in the same blind faith now, had Il not been
demonstrated beyond the peradventure of q
doubt, that II can be cured by purely vege-
table and harmless treatment, viz, Swift's

and that was familiar with many instances
where cures had been claimed, yet SO welded
was to my professional ethics that could
not hearken to the innumerable witnesses
about me.
Several years ago negro came to me for
treatment Of very severe sore throat. eau

other than temporary benefit. on the fourth

thought would just experiment on him and
see II there was any virtue in the favorable re-
ports had been hearing for years of Swift's
Specific, so l put him under treatment of
nothing but $. s. s. Four large bottles COM
pletely cured him, and left his throat as beau.
tifully healed as could desire.
Since then / have used 8. s. s. in numerous
cases in my practice. and l have never failed
to make safe, perfect and permanent cure
where the patients have followed your direc-
tions faithfully.
1t is because of these remarkable cures that
have made in my own practice with S. s. s.
that i cheeiully send you this testimony of
Swifts Specifics sure success In all such cases.
Those who know the almost inevitable per-
manently dangerous effects Of mercury will
welcome your discovery offs. s. 8. as boon to
humanity. The medical profession, always
wary OF proprietary medicines, Is coming
slowly, and in some cases secretly, to the use
OF 8. g. s. IN cases OF blood disorder OF course,
a medicine that cures poisoning in its worse
form must purity the blood of every disorder.

SENTENCE SET ASIDE.

The President DisapprOves the Find
ings of Court Martial.
The President has disapproved aud sc /
aside the findings and sentence Of the court
martial In the case of Second Lieut.. Benja-
min s. Viewer, 1st infantry. Lieut.. Viewer
was charged with conduct unbecoming an
officer and a gentlemen in uttering fraudu
lent checks, neglecting to repay borrowed
money, absence without leave, making false
statements, using a fictitious name, dis.
obedience Of orders, and conduct to the
prejudice Of good order and discipline 10
transferring pay account before IL became
due. To the last specification the lieuten-
ant pleaded guilty, and the court, which
met at the Presidio, San Francisco, found
him guilty Of the charges Of neglecting to
pay debts, OF falsely stating that he was
absent on leave, OF absenting himself with
out leave, disobedience Of orders, and OF
transferring pay account. The sentence
Of the court was that Lieut.. Viewer be dis
missed from the service.
The Presidents reasons for disappearing
this sentence are the fact that two members
Of the court were Improperly discharged
during the trial, and that even IL the fnd-
iDgs were sustained there is testimony be-
fore him tending to show such absence OF
willful intent to offend against military
law and the army regulations that sen.
tence less severe than dismissal would
abundantly subserve the ends Of discipline
and sufficiently vlndicate the wholesome
strictness Of army regulations.

The Nicksburg POS says:
The Volunteer Southrons have received n
letter from Secretary De Leon, of the National

We arc told by one Of the company that all
the questions asked have been answered
plainly in this letter, and many doubtful
Items are to be arranged in such way as will
leave no room for the objections made hereto
fore.
Capt Searles declined to allow the letter to
be published, giving as his reason that 1t was
OF private character, and he conld see no
good In agitating the question any more.
The Southrons will decide tonight or TO-
morrow night whether they will go to Wash
ington. The general impression now seems to
be that they will go.

panies grow much warmer In their discussions
1t may be advisable for the governor of
Alabama to hold the colored troops In readi-
ness to preserve the peace. From the tenor OF
their letters and kilograms which have been
published the last few weeks, 1t seems that
what was supposed to be a matter of national
discussion has turned out to be u matter of
personal feeling between Alabama companies
and their officers.

AN EXTRA SESSION NEEDED
To Relieve the Country From Danger
of n Panic.

OF q Panic.
One Of the staff Of the NATIONAL RE-
PUBLICAN met the Hon. L. L. Payson, Of
Illinois, who Is about returning TO his
home. Judge Payson says that there ought
to be an extra session Of Congress not later
than the Let OF October, and even that will
not be in time to relieve the country from the
threat Of money panic that will necessa-
rily follow the accumulation OF more than
$4,000, 600 each month In the treasury after
the LIST OF July, and he estimates that the
receipts for the next fiscal year will cover
the expenditures; even exceed that sum.
In answer to a suggestion that relief
bill, reducing the surplus, might be passed
by the LIST Of February, Judge Payson said,
at n doubtful even whether one can be
passed during the next fiscal year. The
Democrats VIII first have to agree on
measure, and with diverse view OF Messrs.
Carlisle, Mills, Randall and other Demo-
cratic leaders IL Is impossible to set any
definite period for their agreement, and
after they agree the Republicans must
have their say and will prevent vicious
legislation by all proper parliamentary
methods. We are anxious TO stop the uu-
necessary accumulation OF money In the
treasury, but will not agree to methods
which would result In even greater damage
than an immense surplus"

SONS OF VETERANS
Give an Enjoyable Entertainment to
Their Friauda.


The Sons Of Veterans, George A. Custer
Camp, No. 1, were quite happy last night
at their musical and literary entertainment,
McCauley's Hall, because Of the fact that
they made their audience quite happy.
There was music on piano and banjo; there
were comic songs, dances, and readings.
OF dances more would have been performed
but for the unavoidable absence Of some
persons promised by the programme. The
distinguished success of the occasion, In
which successes were the rule, were the
singing OF '.'Sixty-Two,n and the admirable
acting, by Amy Prospect, for which she re-
ceived tribute Of lilies; the dance, by
"Senor Titani," who revealed, not "Se-
norn at all, but a lad Of "metal more at
tractiye," namely, native here, real name
unknown, q "colored indivldual," save and
except his neck, which was
observed to be decidedly white. He
produced, to the music Of banjo, a regular
southern "break down" Then, the song,
"Don't you believe 1t, dear boys" which
was considered superior TO late rendition
Of the same presented by the Irregular

Louis Naecker, whose recall, when he
appeared with a violin, declared his equal
accomplishment on that instrument. Gen.
James B. Colt, an honorary member OF the
camp, explained the objects OF the "Sons,"
in the course OF his speech uttering senti-
ments Of loyalty and patriotism which were
warmly and universally applauded.
The conclusion Of the very acceptable
entertainment was the farce entitled,
